Dear Friends. Every day, Ukrainian soldiers risk their lives defending freedom. Many return from the front lines bearing deep wounds-both visible and invisible. At Zhytomyr Military Hospital, these brave men and women are receiving critical care for severe physical injuries, PTSD, and traumatic brain injuries. But healing takes more that medicine. Thanks to the leadership of Yuliya Tolmachova, a mother of an active-duty soldier and head of Veteran`s Home in Zhytomyr, these heroes are finding hope through a groundbreaking art therapy program.
